Top 10 SF, Fantasy, and Horror: 2014.

Hooper, Brad (author).

Creativity knows no bounds in today’s sf, fantasy, and horror worlds, as attested to in our latest roundup of top 10 novels in those categories, all of which were reviewed in Booklist between May 15, 2013, and May 1, 2014.

In British writer Beckett’s superb novel of speculative fiction, a world called Eden is populated by a mere 532 inhabitants, all descended from two common ancestors who came to the planet 163 years earlier.

The Kraken Project is a NASA initiative to send a probe to Titan, a large moon of Saturn; the author sells his premise by sheer force of will and with compelling characters and persuasive storytelling.

Teenage Leo and his friends live in an angry, desolate logging town in British Columbia; in mesmerizing prose, the author spins a chilling tale shot through with both aching realism and age-old folktales.

All over the globe, the dead are returning to their families, causing massive confusion and a pervasive anxiety that countries will run out of room and the resources to care for the enlarging population; ultimately, this is a beautiful meditation on what it means to be human. The ABC television series Resurrection is based on the novel.

When Zoe takes a job editing a new travel-book series for Underground Publications, she needs to decide whether to get paid in hell notes, blood tokens, occult favors, or regular dollars; obviously, an entertaining urban fantasy.
